You know that one person who knows you the best? The one who you’ve gone through almost everything with? The one who will always have your back no matter what? I know exactly what it feels like to lose them. Not like a “best friend break up”, but death. My best friend was a boy named Chase. Chase was very spunky. He always managed to put a smile on everyone’s faces, even if he didn’t like them. He was popular and always tried his hardest to include everyone in everything at all times. A lot of people would say he was very good looking, and honestly I can’t disagree. We met in first grade and right then we clicked. We never really hung out outside of school but we still did a bunch of stuff together. We have so many memories ranged from laughing so hard we cry to crying because the other person scrapped their knee. So, back in 2012, at the end of the 6th grade school year, we would all go to an Outdoor Science camp. I decided I didn’t want to go, but Chase did. I told him that I would like to hear all about it when he gets back. When he left, he showed no signs pain. He was perfectly fine and just his usual self. I remember my friends one of his friends calling me early in the morning and telling me that Chase isn’t waking up. I was scared. I didn’t know what to do except cry. I cried so hard I couldn’t say anything. I was hoping this was all a dream, but it wasn’t. This was the worst thing ever. My heart broke. I regret not going. I wish I could’ve been there to make sure this was just fake, but it wasn’t. The adults called 911 and his parents got him rushed to the hospital. I am not sure what exactly happened there but I remember getting another call telling me he died from a brain tumour. The person on the other side was in so much tears she struggled to tell me. I felt my heart break, I felt like I got stabbed in the throat. I was so surprised. He showed no symptoms of it. I wish he did so we can fix it and he would still be able to experience life. He didn’t deserve to be taken away so early. I remember coming back to school and everyone had all these pins and letters saying “R.I.P. Chase”. We walked to the beach and buried all of the letters together. We also made a mini memorial on top of all the things we buried. It was very hard for me knowing he was gone but every time I looked up in the sky I did nothing but smile knowing he’s watching over everyone and in a better place. It’s not easy losing your best friend but you just gotta stay positive and know that they will always be with you. They are also in a better, much safer environment and he will always be protected.
